Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - turn-based Warhammer 40k RPG from Owlcat Games - now with Void Shadows DLC

[Spectacle]

QA/QC team had 22 people in it huh

fire all of em

Shouldn't the team be like twice that size or something?

No need to fire them but maybe bring a better QA lead, maybe someone with experience working QA on AAA games.
Or maybe their QA is fine and they need more people fixing bugs.
I mean that list of 400 bug fixes 1 week after release was 100% not being worked on for only that 1 week. That was prelease bug fixes as well.

I am willing to bet they did not give them enough time to test it. Last minute development changes, patches upon patches, frantic communication - typical of any software company with an unreasonable release date, especially when it comes to a game which is more complex, coupled and large scale than most kinds of software.

Also, as said before, it doesn't help to find bugs if you don't dedicate any time to fixing them.

How does this game justify having Xenos scum and Imperium/Astartes characters going around adventuring together? Did everybody hold hands and sing Kumbaya? Does the "Rogue Trader" aspect of the game have something to do with it?

RT are not under anyone except Emperor himself and he is not in a position to complain about it.

Is Ulfar like the worst character in the game? stat/buildwise

He is a solider+arch militant, that make him the second best damage dealer companion, right behind argenta. And they are pretty much interchangeable.

The problem is you only need to have one of them, and argenta is better. He is much tankier than Argenta, so there is that.

Why do you need only one? Is there only one Heavy Bolter in the game? :D
I see he has high Athletics so he is perfect replacement for Abelard. He can even be melee tank for you instead of Abelard but one that can then switch to Heavy Bolter and dish out a lot of damage.

Arch Militant needs to take extra turns to build up their damage, so basically it's better to focus all of your officer's skills on one of them instead of spread them on two.

But you can have both of them in your party. I actually prefer Ulfar because he can do melee attack, and I like running around with one hand melee and a bolt pistol. But the single target attack is still bugged, so you can only spam bursting fire otherwise you will only do chip damage.

That banging sound on the bridge when rotating the camera was in since the beta. So yeah, reported bugs just haven't been fixed.

Sadly in act4 they've gone from minor annoyances like needing to reload once in a while to one quest after the other bricking entirely. Hopefully the new patch will improve things.

Commorragh isn't as bad as the House but it sure comes close in how tedious it is.

 

[Tyrr]

With so many 'specialists', you know, you can't get something done.

 

[Fedora Master]

Specialist because they're special individuals.

He might have passed the trials, but they would never make him a Space Marine with those stats.

They cut out the left of the the picture. What is missing is VODKA QC SPECIALIST

The game is lol funny in that it has all these variables stats from passives and abilities trying be le deep yet the AI is complete trash like the mission where jae in the warehouse helps my team by proceeding to unload a clip pointblank in idiras skull then follow up the next turn the same with the fish chicks face. Then the third turn takes out the MC. Pasqual in the corner behind a box just watching all this madness unfold with magnified lenses luckily Abelard is still standing cause he the tank and in the grand strategists armor buff area and Argenta doesn't care shes all giggles and smiles for the emperor taking out stuff with her sniper rifle. Also idiras killer manta ray procs way too easy unsanctioned psyker more like unsanctioned loser.

Hard to recommend the game when its drunk wasteland 3.

Master Tactician archtype has a talent that makes friendly fire have less effect on your guys. And Vanguard has one that makes it have zero effect on the vanguard.

Rogue Traders specifically have a document from the Emperor that says "Do whatever it takes to turn uncivilized shit holes into good Imperial territories."

So it's carte blanche to do anything or make any deal, with the caveat that you're supposedly doing it for the greater good, and you're in the wild west of space and probably going to die horribly.

And yeah, it means most Rogue Traders get into some very questionable and shady shit.

 

[Shaja]

Just 5 min, we go in, we rescue some of my missing kin

I´m receiving feedback "this shit doesn´t load" well here you go with new image link:

 

[Fedora Master]

"Hey Ulfar, you wanna come with me and break out of this xeno shithole where you're constantly degraded?"
"Nah I'm good, actually."

It all makes sense now I think. The Inquisitor asked for a bunch of Marines, the Space Wolves hate the Inquisition so they sent their greatest idiots. That also explains his stats.

Hmmm, by the way, what difficulties are you all playing on and how is it? A question to everyone

Playing on Daring/Custom. Most of the fights are piss easy especially with a buffed up Argenta. But there are some proper difficulty spikes here and there. Will do Hard for my second playthrough when its properly patched up. And I m one of those who missed out on Ulfar

 

[ArchAngel]

• Sometimes characters could start the turn with less AP than the maximum they had - fixed;

Finally!

Ulfar, Argenta and Pasqal are 3 most iconic companions in this world..

 

[Jermu]

• Fixed damage of chapter 5 ships in space combat - it was about 4 times higher than expected;

pretty much all of those one shotted unfair only way to deal with em was with torpedoes cheese

also 0 talent fixes? kek

 

[Fedora Master]

Ulfar is horribly built and probably the most useless companion.

 

[gurugeorge]

Patch 1.0.78 just dropped, moderately sizeable. More Quetza Temer fixes and progression blockers, among other things.

Yeah you get a letter from the Grand Inquisitor saying that you have some leeway to do things that would otherwise be considered naughty. Having xenos on the team probably counts as that - grey area, but you won't be torched for it. I think Rogue Traders generally do have a lot of latitude anyway, but the letter ensures it (and it's reinforced by later conversations - nobody's exactly happy if you have Yrliet on the team, but it's barely allowed, though at one point they do call for her head, similarly as with Idira's big gaffe moment).

 

[Desiderius]

I think we figured out in Wrath that there’s a QC bottleneck with the leads needing to sign off on fixes/changes/implementation. Also seems like the programmers don’t play themselves, which creates a lot of extra work for QC and makes some things hard to fix.

Their community management also doesn’t take advantage of free help from grognards because we’re anti-trans or whatever.

 

[Lemming42]

OWLCAT will you fix the fucking Seize the Initiative bug already. I want to get on to Act 3 so I can face even worse bugs.

 

[Tyranicon]

I ran into the most hilarious bug where I executed someone for treason twice.

So I shot this dude the first time and came across a new conversation trigger later on where the game clearly didn't realize he was already dead. I chose to execute him again for the laughs, and my PC sprints halfway across the map to BLAM! a bolter round into the dead guy's head.

Unfathomably based bug.
